Throughout the time of his incarceration, Bun B carried on the UGK name by making numerous guest appearances on songs by other artists, with every appearance either mentioning Pimp C or featuring a 'Free Pimp C!' or 'Free the Pimp' chant. Jive Records failed to capitalize on this new-found interest in the duo, as their fourth album, 2001's Dirty Money, came and went with little fanfare.įurther problems arose when Pimp C was incarcerated for an aggravated gun assault charge in 2002. Both of these collaborations greatly increased their reputation, and helped fuel anticipation for their next project. UGK made a high-profile guest appearance on Jay-Z's smash hit 'Big Pimpin' and also appeared on Three 6 Mafia's hit 'Sippin' on Some Syrup'.
The year 2000 became a breakthrough year for the group. Ridin' Dirty would also be UGK's last album for the time being, as they went on a five-year hiatus not long afterward. Unlike their previous album, Super Tight managed to break into the Billboard Hot 200 and ultimately peaked at #95 their third album, Ridin' Dirty, peaked at #15. Their second album, Super Tight, was released two years later, on August 30.

In 1992, UGK was signed to Jive Records under a five-album contract, releasing their major-label debut album Too Hard to Swallow. On December 4, 2007, Pimp C was found dead in a West Hollywood, California hotel room.

They released their first major-label album Too Hard to Swallow, in 1992, followed by several other albums charting on the Billboard 200 and Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts, including the self-titled Underground Kingz album, which debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, in August 2007.
